Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Bronco Sport offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Jeep Cherokee, with comparable head- and legroom. The Ford Bronco Sport will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Jeep Cherokee.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Ford Bronco Sport as you will with the Jeep Cherokee, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Ford Bronco Sport will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Jeep Cherokee.

Dimensions
The Ford Bronco Sport is a little wider than the Jeep Cherokee, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. If you go with the Ford Bronco Sport, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Jeep Cherokee.

Handling
The Ford Bronco Sport has the same turning radius as the Jeep Cherokee, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Ford Bronco Sport will do just as well as the Jeep Cherokee, since they have about the same towing capacity. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Ford Bronco Sport and the Jeep Cherokee.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Ford Bronco Sport transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Jeep Cherokee.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Ford Bronco Sport and the Jeep Cherokee. The Ford Bronco Sport has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Jeep Cherokee.
